For Jill, a proud Chapters homeowner, the decision to move to Platinum Skies has been nothing short of life-changing. After 18 years of living alone in Romsey, Jill's mobility challenges and the desire for a stronger sense of community led her to explore new living options. In this blog post, we'll delve into Jill's inspiring journey and discover how Platinum Skies provided her with accessibility, a vibrant community, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Accessibility and Comfort
Jill's previous home in Romsey presented numerous challenges due to its uneven terrain and multiple steps, especially during the covid lockdowns and while Jill was shielding. Jill says that Chapters, on the other hand, offered her a haven of accessibility. "It's got everything that will make me feel confident, comfortable, secure, happy, and content," Jill affirms. The thoughtful design of Platinum Skies residences ensures that every homeowner can enjoy a space tailored to their unique needs.
Community: A Vital Transformation
The vibrant community at Chapters in Wiltshire played a pivotal role in Jill's decision to make the move. "In Romsey, I knew a few neighbours, but within the first week here, I was able to name 30. The camaraderie and friendship have been really important to me," Jill emphasises. From the moment she set foot on the property, Jill felt an immediate sense of belonging. Greetings from fellow residents and warm welcomes left no doubt in her mind that she was in the right place.
Meeting Fellow Platinum Skies Homeowners
One of the highlights of Jill's initial visit to Chapters was the opportunity to meet individuals like Mick, Stuart, and Gwen, who had featured in our testimonial videos. Seeing them in person reaffirmed Jill's conviction that she had made the right decision. The authenticity of the community and the genuine connections forged therein are what set Platinum Skies apart.
Purpose and Excitement for the Future
Jill's new home provides her with a stunning view overlooking the courtyard, pond, and the soothing sound of a fountain. But more importantly, it has become the epicentre of her active involvement in a vibrant community. "The array of activities is astounding," Jill remarks, attesting to the dynamic lifestyle that Platinum Skies facilitates.
Community Managers: Pillars of Support
Jenny and Ashleigh, the community managers at Chapters have played an indispensable role in ensuring residents' happiness and integration. "They make it easy for newcomers like me to integrate into the community seamlessly; they get to know everybody on site. They know people so well. It's amazing," Jill praises. Their dedication and personalised approach exemplify our commitment to fostering a sense of belonging.
Shared Ownership: A Perfect Fit
Jill was particularly impressed with Platinum Skies' unique shared ownership and part-exchange package. "The Shared Ownership scheme was great for me; it helped me release some capital and afford to buy a bigger apartment here, and I could move in before my house sale was completed. It was perfect in so many ways," Jill explains.
Jill's story is a testament to the transformative power of finding the right community and living environment. Platinum Skies not only met her practical needs for accessibility but also exceeded her expectations in creating a vibrant, welcoming space where she can thrive. For Jill, Chapters is more than a home—it's a place where she has found purpose, connection, and a bright future.
